I loved this segment of #VictorianFarm [begins at 7:30] -- #plaiting straw, with the end result being a straw hat! I've made #Brigid's crosses with straw, but always to wanted to make something bigger -- like a basket. I also found some web pages and videos for smaller projects that I'll be posting today!

Ooooh... Watched #VictorianFarm on the new 1080 TV. I could even read the text of the books! Wow! Very impressed!

One thing I'm getting from watching shows like #VictorianFarm, #EdwardianFarm, #TudorMonasteryFarm, and even #IronChef -- is making the most out of all parts of critters. #IndigenousPeoples did that as well. If we're going to eat meat / fish, then we should aim for using as much as we can for food, and make sure the rest doesn't go to waste!

It's Christmas Eve which means marathon watching of all the Victorian Farm Christmas episodes. I love Ruth, Peter and Alex so much! They make me laugh every year. Any other #victorianfarm fans out there?
